Items for sale

Prices given are in pounds sterling, hereafter referred to as GBP. Sensible offers are welcome.

These prices do not include shipping costs unless stated. I am normally able to ship overseas on smaller items. Please remember that if you want to pick anything up in person that I work and live just south of Carlisle in Cumbria, England near the Scottish border. Cumbria and The Lake District are super places to visit so why not make a weekend of it?

Keyboards, Drum Machines and Synthesisers:

Korg PE-2000, Poly Ensemble S

This is terrific sounding analogue fully polyphonic string synthesiser. It's an early one with the real wood veneer (as opposed to the later ones with plastic film) and a metal toggle power switch. It is in fair to good condition with some obvious scuffs to the wood veneer and non original cabinet hinges and clasps. It has been extensively modified by me so this is a very special and completely unique PE-2000.

The bass end has been significantly extended as the stock PE2000 is very bass light. Several of the key audio op-amps have been upgraded for less noise. The phaser's slowest LFO speed has been reduced. The envelope's auto damp mode can now be turned on or off via a new little toggle switch in the envelope section of the front panel. When switched off, any new notes played do not cut off the older notes leaving their release tails intact. With another new switch the vibrato oscillators can be turned on or off on all preset sounds. The maximum attack and release times have also been increased.

The stock PE-2000 distorts if you play a cluster of notes near to each other. Although this is not that audible at the lower end of the keyboard it sounds pretty terrible at the top end. It happens because the crude diode switching networks, that control the signal path between the various preset I and II modes, have a very limited headroom. I have replaced all the diode switches with integrated FET switches. These now control the audio pathways without introducing noticeable distortion yet keeping the same sound of the individual presets. The result is that you can now play close clusters of notes without the nasty artifacts.

The unit has had all the large value electrolytic capacitors replaced with new ones. It also has a detachable mains lead rather than the usual capitive one.

Price is 650GBP. Personal pick up only.

Roland SR-JV80-13 'Vocal Collection' Expansion Card

Expansion card for the JV series of synthesisers, eg. JV-1080, JV2080 etc. Fully working and in good condition. No original packaging or documentation provided.

Logan String Orchestra

In circuitry terms this is very similar to the first version of the Logan String Melody. However, it adds two additional voices, ORCH I and ORCH II. The former is a fizzy sound that is like a thinner version of the standard Cello sound, while the latter is a much more useful vocal type sound. This particular unit has been modified so that both 'orch' presets are fed to the main triple ensemble unit thus giving them both a rich shimmering sound that is not present on the stock Logan (or Wersi) String Orchestra. The Slalom slider, which previously served as a bizarre pitch bender, has been reworked to become a modulation depth control for the 6Hz (vibrato) oscillator in the ensemble circuit. This allows the user to dial in sounds that go from smooth chorus tones (as on the String Melody II's organ preset), through the standard Logan string sound, to an over the top vibrato driven lead.

I have also added my modification to reduce unwanted note bleedthrough when more than one note is pressed down. Standard Logans tend to 'beehive' when more than one note is pressed down giving a very mushy sound particularly in the higher registers. My modification kills this completely yet retaining the distinctive Logan sound.

Cosmetically, this one is in pretty poor condition. The left hand end cheek has seen some water damage and the tolex covered case is very tatty. Several of the slider caps are missing. Not what you would call a museum piece by any means. But it's been a trusty fellow and everything works very well.

The unit has had a full service recently including a power supply upgrade and a major recap.

Price is 225GBP. Personal pick up only.

Effects Units and Pedals:

Boss BF-1 Flanger Pedal

An excellent sounding flanger pedal based on the SAD1024 analogue delay chip. Wonderful solid construction. In good condition and fully working. Fully serviced in 2015. Requires a 12V to 15V power supply rather than the usual 9V Boss types. It will function using 9V but Roland designed it to work with the original higher voltage adapters.

Price is 175GBP. Personal pick up or shipped. Shipping is 10GBP within the UK, 15GBP for rest of EU.

Roland AP-2 Phase II phaser pedal

An excellent sounding FET based phaser pedal. Wonderful solid construction. In good condition and fully working. Fully serviced in 2015. This one has been modified to remove the need for annoying batteries and so requires an external 18V power supply. The power connector is a standard centre positive type like those for the Diamond pedals.

Price is 145GBP. Personal pick up or shipped. Shipping is 10GBP within the UK, 15GBP for rest of EU.

Ibanez FL-303

Very good sounding flanger pedal that uses the fabled SAD1024 BBD chip for really wide sweeps. This is the bright yellow version with the Ibanez logo in black on grey. The unit has been recently overhauled by me, given a good clean inside and out, new electrolytic capacitors fitted, external power supply inlet added and additional filtering to reduce the amount of clock noise on the signal. At some point I think a previous user has replaced the stock push switch for a different one. I have retained this switch but have now wired the unit for true bypass when off.

The unit is in fair condition as to be expected from a foot pedal of its age. The unit is intact and complete, but the bright yellow paint has been worn off on the corners and the underside is rather scuffed.

Requires an external 18V power supply. The power connector is a standard centre positive type like those for the Diamond pedals.

Price is 125GBP. Personal pick up or shipped. Shipping is 10GBP within the UK, 15GBP for rest of EU.

Diamond Halo Chorus Pedal

Great sounding stereo chorus and phaser pedal. Based around the MN3007 BBD for the chorus and two vactrols for the phaser this is a very versatile unit. It requires 18V to 24V DC to run and a separate wall wart style power supply is included. The unit comes with its original box and is signed by the makers inside. The manufacture date is 2010.

The unit is in good condition and works perfectly.

Price is 175GBP. Personal pick up or shipped. Shipping is 10GBP within the UK, 15GBP for rest of EU.
